That’s how to make the perfect debut! Former Frankfurt player Hugo Ekitiké has scored for Liverpool FC in his Premier League debut against AFC Bournemouth after just 37 minutes.
After a pass from Alexis Mac Allister, he manages to hold his own in a duel, somewhat luckily, is free and knows exactly how to deceive the opposing keeper in his usual manner. The ball lands in the bottom right of the net, marking the first Premier League goal of the 2025/26 season.
In the second half, the Frenchman even added another: He set up the 2:0 by Cody Gakpo with a clever lay-off.
By the way, the two former Leverkusen players Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong are also allowed to start right from the beginning. Whether they will also score a debut goal remains to be seen.
